1. Turning D-TEK Stratus on and preparing for use

a. Long-press the power button to turn D-TEK Stratus on or off.

NOTE: If the screen does not turn on, the battery is very low

and needs to be charged. D-TEK Stratus can be used

while charging.

b. D-TEK Stratus will begin a warm-up for 45 to 90 seconds. When

warm-up is complete, D-TEK Stratus is ready for use.

c. To switch modes, press the MODE button. This toggles between

Cloud Hunting, Pinpoint and Manual Zero modes.

NOTE: D-TEK Stratus always starts up in the last mode that

was used.

2. Using Cloud Hunting (Portable Monitor) mode

a. Slowly move through the suspect areas and observe the ppm reading.

b. Follow the ppm reading to find areas of higher refrigerant

concentration. The higher the number, the higher the concentration

of refrigerant and the closer you are to the leak source.

NOTE:

Lingering in an area with refrigerant for several minutes

may cause the ppm reading to decrease. If this occurs,

move to an area of lower concentration for a few seconds.

c. Press the SENS/ZERO button to enable/disable the MAX

feature. When enabled, the highest ppm level observed is

shown below the main ppm display. To reset the max reading,

long-press the SENS/ZERO button.

NOTE: There is no sensitivity setting in Cloud Hunting mode.

3. Using Pinpoint mode

a. Place the tip of D-TEK Stratus as close as possible to the

suspected leak. Do not block the air flow.

b. Slowly (2.5 to 5 cm [1 to 2 in.] per second) move the probe past

each possible leak point. If a leak is detected, D-TEK Stratus will

alarm and the on-screen indicators will illuminate.

NOTE: In Pinpoint mode, D-TEK Stratus will automatically

zero to the background refrigerant after a few seconds.

English

When this occurs, either continue looking for a higher

concentration of refrigerant or move to an area of lower

concentration to reset the zero point.

c. When a leak is identified, pull the probe away from the leak for a few

seconds and return to the suspected leak site to verify the leak.

NOTE: For large leaks or for SAE applications, press the

SENS/ZERO button to switch the sensitivity mode. The

current sensitivity is displayed on the screen.

NOTE:

Do not use the

Super

sensitivity setting for SAE applications.

4. Manual Zero mode

Manual Zero mode operates in a similar way to Pinpoint mode, but

allows the user to manually zero the instrument to the background

refrigerant by pressing the SENS/ZERO button.

NOTE: There is no sensitivity setting in Manual Zero mode.

5. Removing and installing the lithium ion battery

a. Press the eject button to release the battery cover.

b. Move the battery release tab to the side until the battery begins

to eject.

c. Slide the battery out.

d. Align the new battery with the rails.

e. Gently push the battery along the rails until the battery release

tab engages.

NOTE: Do not force the battery. If it does not slide freely, check

alignment and try again.

6. Replacing and installing the sensor

a. Press the eject button to release the battery cover.

b. Grasp the sensor release tab and gently pull the sensor out.

c. Align the new sensor with the rails.

d. Gently push the sensor along the rails until it clicks into place.

NOTE: Do not force the sensor. If it does not slide freely, check

alignment and try again.

e. Reinstall the battery cover.

7. Replacing filters

a. Unscrew the probe tip and remove the filter.

b. Insert the new filter into the probe tip.

c. Screw on the probe tip.

8. Charging and Battery Information

To charge D-TEK Stratus, plug the supplied wall or car charger into

an appropriate power source and plug the micro USB cable into the

D-TEK Stratus micro USB power input. The on-screen battery sym-

bol shows the charge percentage and indicates that the battery is

charging.

NOTE: D-TEK Stratus can be operated while charging.

NOTE: A new lithium ion battery will have a charge of 30% or

less. It is recommended to fully charge the battery

before use. Allow approximately three hours for a full

charge.

Cautions:

• Only use a certified charger/cord with an output of 5V (dc), 1 A

• Keep the device out of extremely high or low temperature locations

• Temperature ranges and humidity:

• Storage: -20–60°C (-4–140°F)

• Operating: -20–50°C (-4–122°F)

• Charging: 0–45°C (32–113°F)

• Humidity: 95% RH NC max.

• Do not expose the battery to liquid

• Do not use the device if you notice any damage to the battery

• Do not disassemble or modify the battery

• Handle and dispose of the battery per local regulations

• If the recharging operation fails to complete, even when the speci-

fied recharging time has elapsed, immediately stop further

recharging

• Do not leave the battery unattended while charging

• Unplug the charger when the battery is fully charged

• Improper use or disposal of lithium ion batteries can cause a fire

• Not intended for use in flammable environments

1. Encendido del D-TEK Stratus y preparación para su uso

a. Mantenga pulsado el botón de encendido para encender o

apagar el detector D-TEK Stratus.

NOTA: Si la pantalla no se enciende,significa que el nivel de la

batería es muy bajo y debe cargarse. El D-TEK Stratus

se puede utilizar mientras se carga.

b. El D-TEK Stratus iniciará una fase de calentamiento de entre 45

y 90 segundos.

c. Para cambiar de modo, pulse el botón

MODE

. Se alternará entre

los modos

Cloud Hunting

(Búsqueda en nubes),

Pinpoint

(Detección clásica) y

Manual Zero

(Ajuste punto cero).

NOTA: D-TEK Stratus siempre se inicia en el último modo

utilizado.

2. Uso del modo Cloud Hunting (Búsqueda en nubes)

monitor portátil

a. Despl

ácese lentamente a través de las áreas sospechosas y

observe la lectura de ppm.

b. Siga la lectura de ppm para detectar

áreas con mayor

concentración de refrigerante.

Cuanto mayor sea la cifra, mayor

ser

á la concentración de refrigerante y más cerca estará de la

fuente de la fuga.

NOTA: Si permanece en un área con refrigerante durante

varios minutos, la lectura de ppm puede disminuir. Si

esto ocurre, desplácese a un área con menor

concentración durante unos segundos.

c. Pulse el botón SENS/ZERO para activar/desactivar la función

MAX. Cuando esta función esté activada, debajo de la lectura

principal de ppm se mostrará el nivel más alto de ppm

observado. Para restablecer la lectura máxima, mantenga

pulsado el botón SENS/ZERO.

NOTA: No hay ninguna opción de sensibilidad en el modo

Cloud Hunting.

Español

3. Uso del modo Pinpoint (Detección clásica)

a. Coloque la punta del D-TEK Stratus tan cerca como sea posible

del punto en el que se sospecha que hay una fuga. No bloquee

el flujo de aire.

b. Mueva la sonda lentamente (entre 1 y 5 cm por segundo) por

cada posible punto de fuga. Si se detecta una fuga, el D-TEK

Stratus emitirá una alarma y se encenderán los indicadores de

fuga en pantalla.

NOTA: En el modo Pinpoint, el D-TEK Stratus pondrá

automáticamente a cero el refrigerante de fondo

después de unos segundos. Cuando esto ocurra,

continúe buscando una mayor concentratión de

refrigerante o desplácese a un área de menor

concentratión para restablecer el punto cero.

c. Si se identifica una fuga, aleje la sonda de la fuga durante unos

segundos y vuelva a colocarla en ese punto para verificar la fuga.

NOTA:

En el caso de fugas grandes o con aplicaciones SAE,

pulse el botón

SENS/ZERO

para cambiar el modo de

sensibilidad. La sensibilidad actual se indica en la pantalla.

NOTA: No utilice la opción de sensibilidad Super con

aplicaciones SAE.

4. Modo Manual Zero (Ajuste punto cero)

El modo Manual Zero funciona de forma similar al modo Pinpoint,

pero permite al usuario ajustar a cero manualmente el refrigerante

de fondo en el instrumento pulsando el botón SENS/ZERO.

NOTA:

No hay opción de sensibilidad en el modo
